Yew Cottage is a delightful Grade II Listed period property set in a much sought after location on Church Road in the village of Bitton away from main road traffic within a Conservation Area overlooking the Parish Church of St Mary's. The property offers much charm and character sympathetically combined with modern fittings and tasteful decoration. The cottage has the benefit of a large rear garden, part of which has been recently landscaped with a paved terrace and traditional cottage garden with part in a more natural state and a haven for wildlife.
Beyond the beautiful double fronted stone built façade the property is approached through an original entrance door to a porch that leads to the 24ft living room spanning the full width of the property featuring sash windows and two fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove. Beyond the inner hallway is a well appointed modern kitchen with built in appliances and a dining room. At the rear of the cottage lies a garden room and a utility room including a cloakroom with wc.
The first floor has three well proportioned double bedrooms, and a bathroom with a contemporary suite. The second floor offers a characterful attic studio style bedroom spanning the full width of the property and suitable for a variety of uses.
Bitton is a popular village location lying approximately midway between the Cities of Bristol and Bath (7 and 6 miles away respectively) making it highly convenient. The village has a convenience store, garage, hairdressing salon, parish church and church hall as well as a well regarded primary school. Nearby Longwell Green has a wider range of day to day amenities as does Keynsham which also benefits from railway station.
